We supply these as a straightforward way to bring a tired kit back to life or to swap out a head that has lost its tone. The coated surface gives a warmer, more controlled sound than a clear head, along with a softer feel under the stick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis head works well as a batter head, which is the top head you actually strike, as opposed to the resonant head fitted underneath. The coating also suits brush work, giving the texture that lets brushes sweep across the surface properly. It sits happily on toms and can serve on smaller snare drums where an 8in size applies, so it covers a range of practical uses across an acoustic kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitting is simple: remove your old head, seat the new one over the shell, then tension it evenly with the lugs until you reach the pitch you want. We would suggest tuning in small steps and working across opposite lugs to keep the head balanced. As with any drum head, the coating and tone will wear over time with regular playing, so keeping a spare to hand is sensible if you gig or rehearse often. This single 8in size makes a handy addition to your drum bag or stick case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.10KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15mm x 220mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrum size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the DHC-8?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an 8 inch drum head, sized to fit standard 8in drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a batter or resonant head?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is suitable as a batter head, meaning the top head you strike rather than the resonant head underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the coated surface do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coating gives a warmer, more controlled tone than a clear head and adds texture that suits brush playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it with brushes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
